Wireless gaming headset
SteelSeries' midrange wireless gaming headset for PC, PlayStation, Switch and phones, with a USB-C 2.4 GHz dongle, Bluetooth and a fully retractable boom mic. It does not work with Xbox; the Arctis Nova 5X Wireless does, and the Arctis Nova 5P Wireless is the same headset for PlayStation.

Game presets from a phone app
SteelSeries' phone app loads game-specific EQ presets onto the headset, so console players can change the sound without a PC. The 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth connections keep separate presets.

Switches between 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth
One button swaps between the dongle and Bluetooth, and an incoming call switches over automatically. You cannot hear both at once, as you can on the Arctis Nova 7 Wireless Gen 2.

Light, comfortable build
Most reviewers found the light plastic headset comfortable for hours, helped by its elastic suspension band and breathable fabric cushions.
